They went on several boat rides, hiked lots of trails, and even rode some old fashioned choo-choo trains. Each had their own favorite moment.

Ducky’s favorite part was when we got caught in a “lamb jam” (traffic jam caused by grazing sheep), when driving on old country roads. They got several good laughs as humans tried to shoo the sheep off the road.

Pembleton’s favorite part was hiking around Lake Derwentwater. He cataloged different plants and animals he spotted along the hike in his science journal.

Ted’s favorite part was the bird show at Muncaster Castle. He liked seeing the hawks soaring in the sky and swooping over the crowd.

Blizzard’s favorite part was eating lots and lots of sticky toffee pudding! It is his favorite dessert in all of England, especially when topped with ice cream.

Hello from the Lake District!

Then they found out the baby human is a GIRL! (Something Amanda Panda and Penelope Penguin are very excited about.)

It took them a little while to get use to the idea, but now they love their little sister, and can’t wait to teach her “the way of the force”, and how to “live long and prosper”.

Now they are getting some more news! They are going to find out their baby sisters name!!

Here is how it happened:

Ducky, Pembleton, Blizzard and Ted,Gathered in the living room right before bed.The mama and the papa told them some news,That a brand new baby would be joining them soon.Ducky asked, “will the baby be a brother?”“No, not a brother”, said the mother.“Then we’re having a sister”, shouted Ted and Blizzard.Pembleton asked, “what is her name?”The papa replied, “let’s play a guessing game.”Ducky declared, “her last name has to be Mann because she’s joining our clan.” “Right”, said papa, “and what will her middle name be?”“I know, Dorothea! For our Grandma Dee.”“Now let’s finish the game, what about her first name?”Blizzard laughed, “This should be easy”,Ted giggled, “Let’s call her Evie.”“Evie?” asked Pembleton.“Is that short for Evelyn?”“Yes”, said the mama, “that is her name,Evelyn Dorothea Mann.”

https://duckyadventures.com/2015/06/15/celebration-of-the-magna-carta/#respondMon, 15 Jun 2015 21:02:21 +0000http://duckyadventures.com/?p=1425To celebrate the 800th anniversary of the signing of the Magna Carta, Pembleton introduced Ducky, Ted, and Blizzard to his old friend Mr. Peabody.

“Who is Mr. Peabody and why are you so excited for us to meet him?”, Ducky asked.

“Just wait. You’ll see”, Pembleton replied.

When they arrived, Mr. Peabody talked on and on about something he called a “wayback machine”. They all got inside the machine, and to Ducky’s surprise, they were suddenly transported back in time to 1215 in medieval England!

There were a bunch a funny looking men, all standing around a fancy piece of paper. Pembleton started geeking out, and Mr. Peabody explained that this historical document meant that the King or Queen of England had to follow their own laws. In essence, the Magna Carta established that no man, or animal is above the law.

After the signing of the document. Thy all got back in to the “wayback machine” and were instantly back in the year 2015. Ducky was really happy to be back home, because he was really hungry and it was snack time.

Last night, Ducky dreamed that him and Pembleton were in a video game. They almost got eaten by Pac Man and they had to jump from one platform to another collecting bananas. Then after rescuing a princess, they met up with Donkey Kong and who ate all the bananas they collected.

While it was fun being in a video game, Ducky is glad that he isn’t stuck in there and can enjoy the real outdoors.

Nice to meet you Mr. Kong.

They are excited about their new adventures! Pembleton wants to visit the British Museum first, while Ducky wants to visit the Tower of London. Blizzard and Ted don’t have a preference as long as they get their sticky toffee pudding for dessert! However, they are a little nervous about making new friends at their new home.

For more than 50 years, NORAD and its predecessor, the Continental Air Defense Command (CONAD) have tracked Santa’s flight… In 1958, the governments of Canada and the United States created a bi-national air defense command for North America called the North American Aerospace Defense Command, also known as NORAD, which then took on the tradition of tracking Santa. (From NORAD HQ)

We hope you all have been good this year! Merry Christmas!
